METOS KNOWS: How to improve your berry yield

We were discussing disease models for the most devastating berry diseases, looked deeper into monitoring environmental conditions, talked about how to take advantage of the data analysis to improve your berry growing, and last but not least, looked into the holistic picture of crop management for berry crops and answered all the questions you had about your berry field.

Joined by the METOS team, Jenny Broome, plant pathology expert, who helped develop our Broome-Gubler powdery mildew disease model, and Simon Turner, an expert in working with soil and substrate growers producing high-value crops around the world, we covered another interesting topic.

- Disease models for berry crops (Broome-Gubler p. Mildew risk, grey mold, powdery mildew and others)
- Impact of environmental conditions on berry crops – rainfall, humidity, temperature and leaf wetness, and weather data interpretation
- Growing degree days for insect phenology models
- Drift and weather conditions during spraying
- Soil conditions and nutrition management
- Use case: METOS integration with his strawberry powdery mildew model (Agri Tech)
